Amphibious DUKWs rescued more than 550 men women and children from a flood marooned special train six miles south of Winnipeg. The flood refugees, who had been driven from their homes by rising water, were transferred to another train which took them to Dauphin, Man. Five DUKWs, under the command of Lieut-Cdr. (P) H. J. G. Bird, RCN, took part in the five-hour operation. (Canadian Army photo PC-2499)
